Finnegan Posted 8 September Posted 8 September 12 minutes ago, Les-TA-Jon said: The most alarming thing is that this is by design and an active strategic choice by the club. Even if they sack Martin soon (which seems unlikely), there's no evidence that it will be followed by an alternative wider strategy of how we want to play. Yep. The only hope is that they basically run out of people to recruit that stick rigidly to this philosophy I'm basically down to just accepting it's a roll of the dice every time we get a new manager. They might fluke hiring a proper one they might not. 3

Haha. Yes, I'm experiencing some inner conflict as my long-held deep disdain for Russell Martin does battle with my innate tendency to look for reasons to be optimistic. I never wanted him and was horrified when we appointed him, but now he's here I find myself scouring his past record for crumbs of comfort. It's a bit exhausting to be honest. 1
murphy Posted 8 September Posted 8 September Just when you think that Top and Rudkin surely must have learned something by now. Just when you think that relegation to the third division and genuine financial peril must have focussed their minds, they outdo themselves and appoint the biggest joke in football. Top and Rudkin are incorrigible. A lost cause. 1
Les-TA-Jon Posted 8 September Posted 8 September Need about 46-50 points to stay up in League One. Currently on track for 46 points. COYB. 2

Claudio Fannieri Posted 8 September Posted 8 September I wonder if Wycombe pulling the trigger this early might just spark our club to make a decision. May feel now a manager has gone, it won’t necessarily attract as much media attention.
Fox92 Posted 8 September Posted 8 September 41 minutes ago, Happy Fox said: Wycombe need a new manager It shows clubs want to act quick if they have an idea of what they're doing. Similar to when Norwich were a relegated side like us, started poorly, sacked Gunn early on and appointed Lambert, then ending up winning the league. We will never act this quickly under this ownership. 1

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 8 September Popular Post Posted 8 September 4 minutes ago, Happy Fox said: Agreed. I just don't think they fully appreciate how amazingly lucky they got with Enzo. They accidentally hired a world class coach with an incredible understanding of space, movement and positioning on the pitch. I don't think they understand just how elite he was and I don't think our fans do either. Cooper, Ruud, Cifuentes and Martin all want to play football described on paper in similar terms but none of them properly grasp nor can coach how the synergies of each individual player's movement influences those next to him. At our best under Enzo, the way the the team moved and were balanced was so good. Ricardo and Winks forming the base of a 3 box 3 with the underlapping 8s pushing ahead while the striker dropped in and the wingers stretched the play. Oof. It was like porn at times, I could just watch the movement off the ball alone and be entertained. I know that makes me a sad case. But it was so satisfying. Every other Temu coach we've had trying to run the poubdshop version of the same system just doesn't get it. 9 3

At least this time if he gets the sack, we won't be debating whether Martin get the job.
brookfox Posted 8 September Posted 8 September Up to a point, what's the point of changing. It'll put us more in debt and I trust Top and Bottom to appoint a good manager in the same way I'd have trusted Harold Shipman to care for my elderly mum. Fact is he should never have been given the job in the first place and if anything it's just underlined and highlighted the fact the King Power needs to go because until they do nobody is going to thrive here.
AKCJ Posted 8 September Posted 8 September One day this thread will go hot, i'll click on it and there will actually be a tweet or something saying he's been sacked. 1

Every other Temu coach we've had trying to run the poubdshop version of the same system just doesn't get it. Yeah, my favourite was where we passed around in our own half, then passed to the player in the middle of the centre circle, he played a one-touch pass back 5 yards to Winks or Ricardo, and they played a first-time diagonal pass in front of one of the wingers or 8's and we were suddenly 5 players racing forwards.
